tv   Shepard Smith Reporting  FOX News  October 22, 2013 12:00pm-1:01pm PDT

12:00 pm
everyone. and then the fight for immigration in the upcoming election. thanks for become part of "the real story" today. today on "shepard smith reporting," the little girl who was found in greece. don't know her name or her age. today there's an update and the father of pollyclass will be here to talk about the situation. and we'll have live on the show the girl who found a 3.85-carat diamond. the new ipad is lightning fast. the latest from the folks at apple, so let's get to it. first, at 3:00 this afternoon, the jobs picture. the nation are unemployment rate
12:01 pm
7.2%. a tenth of a percent dip. and the lowest level in nearly five years, but -- there's always a but -- while this may seem encouraging the feds say employers added 148,000 jobs in september. the partial government shut down delayed release of the jobs report. the late report had an impact on wall street. stock futures rose after the jobless anybodies went public, and now we're up more than .6 on the session. the experts say the government shutdown that just ended could still skew the jobs numbers for the time being. so we may not get a clear view of the job market until december. peter barnes is live in d.c. what sectors did the most hiring last mom? >> reporter: if you're look fargo job, here's where to look. professional and business services add 32,000 jobs in
12:02 pm
september. 20,000 of those were temp jobs. transportation and warehousing, up over 23,000 jobs. government added 22,000 jobs. most of those in state and local government. retail was up nearly 21,000. construction was up 20,000. a nice bounce from previous months. how might this affect the federal reserve's decision going forward? that appears to be what is moving the market today. >> reporter: this is a weaker than expected jobs report. the economists were projecting the economy in september was going to create about 180,000 jobs. it came in well shy of that. so that has got most of the economists i'm hearing from pushing out the fed's decision to start to withdraw this economic stimulus we have seen over the last five years. so expect that the cheap, easy money, to continue, probably into the new year sometime. >> peter barnes in d.c. this afternoon.

12:30 pm
the fbi just a short time ago confirmed to fox news they're trying to determine whether the young girl who turned up at a gypsy camp in greece could be baby lisa. baby lisa is a toddler that went missing in kansas city. the investigators are calling the young girl maria. and look at this side-by-side image. you can see another picture of maria on the right. police say the image on the left is what an artist believes lisa
12:31 pm
may look like today. he third birthday is next month. the police discovered maria at a gypsy camp in central greece. happened during a crackdown on illegal activities there. they'll say they picked the girl out because she looked nothing like the couple taking care of her. the authorities say the man and woman apparently kidnapped the child and dna tests prove their not her parents. trace gallagher has details. not lost is the fact that trading in children in this part of the world is not something that is really that unusual, but as far as this little girl goes, it appears she is older than little lisa. >> reporter: the gypsy parents say that this maria child was born back in 2009, which makes her either four years old or almost four years old. then they conducted forensic
12:32 pm
dentistry and say she could be a year or two years older, so that rules her out as baby lisa, but we offend out forensic dental test is a little unreliable. the irwin family says they investigate all leads. the kansas city police are also still investigating this. they say the leads of the past year and a half have dried up. there's one sure-fire way. because they have already done a dna test to rule out the gypsy parents being her lie bylogical test. they could test the irwins to fine out if this child belongs to them. >> yesterday we reported they've gotten so many tips around the world on the little girl. >> reporter: and they're taking eight of them seriously, including baby lisa, three of the other ones are from the united states, and also have tips from canada, sweden, poland, and france. they're looking into. keep in mind, this is all based
12:33 pm
on what they don't know, so now they're thinking about doing something called, an to bloggal analysis to narrow down which country she might be from. there are 38 young girls in enter poll's database but none match maria's description, and they're looking at this phony birth certificate going on in greece and might be part of the welfare scam. the jimmy claimed the biological parents lived in their camp and then let them take care of and then finally gave them maria because they were financially unable to do so. but their story changed so many times authorities are very leery of their motive. >> one little girl in the middle of it all. it's get some context. mark klass started a foundation after a man kidnapped his 12-year-old daughter poly. nice to seal you again. >> thank you. >> i don't know if people
12:34 pm
realize -- i didn't even realize the extent to which children are traded almost as property or currency in that part of the world. >> well, that's absolutely correct. and actually the kids that are traded from that part of the world generally come from that part of the world. think about the logistics of kidnapping an infant like lisa and then transporting her tigress and then sell can her to a gypsy family. doesn't make a lot of sense. there are estimated to be 270,000 victims of human trafficking in the european union right now. >> 270,000. how in the world do you begin to track down where these children might have come from and where they should be? >> well, you have to start drilling it down. i mean, if you look at logically, they believe most of the traffic victims come from the u. european union and then from ashe and africa, skins says so much closer to europe and the
12:35 pm
united states. >> marc, there were at least a handful, up to ten kids, who were found in this one camp when the police went out there, looking for those who committed some sort of crime. and they don't have any idea where any of them belong. >> that's exactly right. the whole idea of trafficking in children or selling children has gotten a lot more attention just in the last couple of weeks because of the madeline mccann story. now i think this is something that people need to jump on. weed in to become aware of it. weed in to be aware of what's going on in our community, just as the prosecutor was who noticed this little girl, and maybe we can get a handle on the whole human trafficking issue as it applies to stolen children. >> always a long shot. my heart goes out to all these families who have missing children for so long, and you see something lick this and hope and pray, but i can't imagine, marc. >> well, it gives people hope, though. it gives the families of the
12:36 pm
missing hope. whenever somebody is discovered who is actually missing, and now it's just a matter, in this case, of getting this little girl -- this is doing it in reverse -- getting this little girl back to where she came from. if that doesn't happen let's hope she fines a loving family that will give her the opportunity to grow into a good and productive citizen. >> how can people look it up? tell us about the foundation. >> well, the klaas kids foundation posed a blog on this case. klaaskids.org, and it's easily found on the internet. >> good to see you, klaaskids.org. >> did you know there's a state park in the state of arkansas where you can dig for diamonds and keep whatever you find? there is. been there. one teenager went there with her folks and discovered a diamond that could be worth -- oh, my -- at least tens of thousands of
12:37 pm
dollars. i'm talking a little girl here. a very bright one. but a little girl nonetheless. she is our guest live next. the day we rescued riley, was a truly amazing day. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. from contractors and doctors to dog sitters and landscapers. you can find it all on angie's list. join today.

diamonds there. with us now from oklahoma city, tawnya klymer, and her mother. good see you both. >> thank you. >> tawnya, a shiny candy wrapper? >> yeah. >> and then when you got up close, did you realize you just stumbled on a diamond? >> not really. after i thought it was a candy wrapper i thought it was a marble. >> a marble. a marble might have been fun but wouldn't help pay your way through college, whoa it. >> huh-uh. >> mom, why haven't you gotten this thing appraised yet? >> well, everything has just been happening so fast, and honestly, she had the local news channel come out after we got back home, and as soon as they came out i wanted hit out of the house, and so we put it in a safety deposit box. i know it's not millions of dollars, but just having something valuable in the house, thought it was important to put it away. >> that sounds right to me.
12:42 pm
it's my understanding you have had as much fun with being on tv as you have hearing about what your diamond might be worth. >> oh, yes. every little girl wants to be famous one day and this is pretty cool. >> i bet it is. mom, it's her money or your money or family money or what? >> it's her money. it's hers to do whatever she wants with it. >> what do you want? >> i want college. >> good for you. where are you hoping to go some day? >> i want to go to osu. >> oklahoma state. if there's a little money left over, what are you going to do with that? >> i'll either use it for a ring or to go to a car or might spend it on myself for a shopping spree. i'm not sure. >> you deserve that. i guess -- i've been to that place once, and when you go there, you expect you might find a little sliver of something, or have some fun looking, but you don't really expect to find a jelly bean size diamond in there, do you?
12:43 pm
>> huh-uh. i didn't think i would find anything. so this is just a complete shocker. >> mom, when she pulled it up, what did you say? >> well, when i actually seen it, i thought everything else that we had seen that day was just like a rock, and if anything could have been a diamond, that was it, and i just told her to put it in her pocket, and i know that sounds terrible but it was in a paper sack, very tiny paper sack and in her pocket for another two hours. i just have that doubt like it might be, like a fake diamond, somebody placed somewhere or something. didn't think it was real. >> that would be rude to -- well, tanna, good luck. hope things work well at oklahoma state. be careful choosing your friends along the way, all right? >> yeah. >> i feel sorry for her future husband. >> i don't. she won't need a dowry.
